1st wall sheathing complete!

[@ftwtexasstephens9629]

I hope you feel a good sense of accomplishment. You deserve it.

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@deewilliams9890]

Andrew, great job. You make it all look so easy. This is pretty freakin impressive for a 1 man show. Keep up the good and and stay dry.

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much

[@bobgray617]

Woo hoo... one wall sheathed! Looks great.

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@TKCL]

Seen your donation after the live stream ended last night. Thank you very much for the support!

[@jeremiahs45]

Awesome. One wall sheathed completely. Way to go Andrew

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@bobbikuhn3496]

One nice thing about recording your building... if the inspector questions anything... you have video proof of all the extra steps you took to get it right. You went above board on everything. Great job.

[@TKCL]

And I can go back myself to see where things are

[@x91w]

I recently bought a track / plunge saw for cutting large sheets away from my table saw and it has changed my life. That guide looks like maybe a halfway house.

[@mikemiller5139]

Inspector should be pleased.

[@patriciamuskevitsch8359]

Looking great!

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@av1204]

I have never seen an inspector who cared that much about anything.

[@TKCL]

Lol, mine has his pet peeves

[@timbarbour9402]

Looking great

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@thomasfelkel1388]

looks good keep up the good work

[@pmartin6759]

Really looking great👍👍👍👍

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@Iamclaudiamarie]

Wow! That wall sure looks nice. Hope we start getting some better weather here in Florida.

[@dane9175]

See as we are not all mathematicians. The secret to using a saw guide is cutting gauge blocks. The proper Dimension of your offsets of the saw.😎

[@pampilgrim2274]

Hi, Andrew! I haven’t told you lately how much I enjoy your videos. They are awesome! You don’t leave out the steps in the process. THANKS 🙏!!!!!

[@TKCL]

Thank you for the kind words Mrs Pam!

[@needenoutdoors7945]

Don't know if it's been suggested. Have you thought about lath and screws to secure your plastic. It's a lot easier to remove than those nails. Plus it's great in high wind conditions. Noticed some tropical storms developing out of Africa. As always great job.

[@TKCL]

I'm doing a combination of both now. The boards is a better idea.

[@TheSoloAsylum]

You just reminded me of something...Like you I can't stand to be covered in sawdust, I can't stand walking in it even more. I have to keep my blower or water hose near by.

[@TKCL]

Yep I keep a blower, air nozzle and often wash off. The stuff drives me crazy

[@irmamiller448]

Sorry I haven't commented last couple of videos, (family visits) but I have to say keep up the great job!! I'm so happy for you and Tiffany and that big accomplishment of one wall at time, wow you're getting close to it being a home!! Be safe and God bless.

[@TKCL]

No worries, take care and God bless

[@ryanzynda5114]

Another amazing video.

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Hello Andrew 🙂 that new bit is a game changer. I am in awe of what you are accomplishing by yourself. Extraordinary job!! 💪💪💪

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much, it definitely helps out

[@Jammer.1]

try use the router bit for when you got cut the slots for the rafter beams it's better then the jigsaw or skil saw

[@stevecart6913]

Glad to see the weather held off long enough for you to finish sheating one wall. Congratulations. The router bit did a great job cutting out the windows and doors. Keep up the excellent video's. Hope and pray you have a wonderful day. Don't forget to take a fishing day for yourself. Remember all work and no play makes for a stressful life. 😀

[@TKCL]

Great points! Thank you for watching, truly appreciated!

[@digitaldan8223]

Wall looks awesome! Re: Harbor Freight... I've purchased a couple of their Predator semi-trash pumps and a pressure washer over the past couple years and that Predator engine is pretty bullet proof. I use only ethanol-free fuel in them, but one of the pumps sits outside, year round and it starts the first pull. I use that one to pump water from a creek that runs through our property about 400 feet thru 2" hose and PVC pipe to our pond to keep the water level up. It runs just above idle for about 6 hours on 1 gallon of gas. When my pond is down about 8", it takes doing that twice to top it back off. With all this rain, I haven't needed it in over a month. All our downspouts go underground and feed into the pond too, to it has been almost constantly over-flowing out and down to that previous mentioned creek most of the spring and summer this year. The other pump is up in Michigan and it is used to pump water from Lake Huron to water large lawn. Couldn't be happier with both applications. I try to support China as little as possible these days, but the Predator line is tough to beat for the $$. That tool you got looks very handy and much easier than trying to rip a large sheet of plywood on my table saw. I think I'll pick one up for the next project.

[@TKCL]

I agree their cheap engines are quite impressive.

[@chrisy939]

As a Real Estate Appraiser, I have seen it all and REALLY hard to impress. With that said, y’all are going to have one of the best porches I have seen. I try not to comment too much because I know you have a lot of comments to read, but your house is looking great, love watching your attention to detail and just really enjoying the house build.

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much Chris! Comment anytime you want to, we appreciate it!

[@5150cash]

The grass looks like it needs to be mowed again 👍🏽. House is coming out great but still waiting for some log splitter videos 😩😩

[@TKCL]

Yes my grass is horrible

[@skyb5937]

Tape seems around all windows, thin in stall windows

[@TheUserid82]

Make yourself a handle you can screw onto the OSB section you are cutting out of the door/window. Why try to grab an edge or risk it coming down and smashing a finger or hand when you can attach a simple handle to hold in a spot you are comfortable as you cut with the router. You have two more full walls so lots of places to use it.

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

You're not turning into a gadget hoarder, are you?!!! Compressed air shower, that's an interesting one:)))) Well, you've taken another bite of the elephant, bravo!!!

[@TKCL]

Of course I'm hoarding tools and gadgets 😁

[@leokelly359]

just so you know I use my cutting guide all of the time had it 8 years and still kicking

[@TKCL]

Good to know

[@hendersonhow2andreview17]

Hey here is a life hack.....the yellow wire nuts work as perfect caulk tube caps. I know you are only using it every once and a while for the bottom run and that will keep it from hardening up.

[@TKCL]

Good to know, thanks!

[@barbaraharrold5361]

Looking great:)

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@deborrahdutra5599]

Wow it looks good

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@katieallen3927]

Congratulations on achieving this goal. Slow and steady will get the job done.

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@davidwooden4175]

The house is coming along and looking good

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@Jammer.1]

What you called little hammer is a shingle hatched the little slider pins you set for the size the shingle tab is spaced for over-lap !

[@TKCL]

Cool, but that pin is actually holding a slide out razor blade. This hatchet hammer is made specifically for underlayment and vapor barrier. Magnetic head to hold cap nails, and a slide out razor to cut the material.

[@Shawbonez]

That straight edge clamp from Harbor Freight looks pretty good! Now if our arms would only extend to be able to finish the cut! haha! I use an old 4' level and clamp the ends sometimes. Looks great! You're getting there! :)

[@TKCL]

Tell me about it, too short!

[@ActionJackson2360]

Before spray foaming, check with termite companies for bonds with spray foam. My neighbor informed me that the ones who will give you a bond usually exclude Formosa and only bond against E3's. I don't know if there is difference in there eyes as for as closed vs open cell. I know open cell is said to be better in the south. Usually closed cell is only used on concrete walls and in metal buildings down here in our overheated part of the country.

[@TKCL]

All my termite treatment was under slab. I'm treating above slab with boracare, I've seen a lot of big builders use that and then open cell spray foam.

[@lanihouston6862]

👍 Looking great!!

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@TrustingJesus67]

Looking great. Your plan is coming together faster and faster. God Bless P.S. glad you didn't bang your head this time...lol

[@TKCL]

Lol thank you

[@hendersonhow2andreview17]

Something I just noticed. You need blocking all the way down that long wall where the wall meets the roof. Have to block in between each roof truss. The insulation guys can put the cardboard backing to spray the foam against but it isnt enough. Need the board there for a fire break and also to have separation from inside and outside.

[@jasonking2943]

See Andrew told ya the inspector can just watch your channel and give you the ok on everything!!

[@TKCL]

I'm putting porch underside roofing on first leaving a gap the spray foam insulators can fill from the inside. The inspector told me that the foam qualifies as a fire draft control barrier for open voids. I specifically asked about additional blocking.

[@k4x4map46]

nice tool for straight edges! I like using clamped 2x4's; my cuts are never straight, just the way I like them--knot!! Have to get one!!

[@brandonking2826]

Hi Andrew. Small suggestion on your dewalt saw. I put a Diablo blade on mine and what a difference. Stronger cut cleaner edges with less splintering. They have them at homedepot

[@TKCL]

I am about to need a new blade

[@DracolegacyOfficial]

hell dude, for $17 thats not bad at all, i've had to get flush trim bits all the way up to the $50 mark and trashed by the end of the week. damn good find

[@joeblan9426]

Just wondered if you undid a 8 foot section of your plastic and nailed a 2x4 at the bottom of your plastic and rolled it up about 8 feet .So if you start to get a shower you can just drop the 2x4 roll of plastic and renail it if necessary. That would keep it from getting wet maybe. GOD Bless!

[@TKCL]

I've been kicking that idea around myself

[@timothydillon6421]

The table on a circ saw is 1 1/2 on one side and 3 1/2 on the other, plus or minus a tick depending on the kerf of the blade you are using. Those dimensions are not by accident.

[@TKCL]

Yep I found that out, good info

[@robertfirestone5743]

Now if you take your Plastic sheeting start at bottom fold it up tack it off run a run at a time may help

[@chrisavila2073]

Well I guess when you have the house all dried in the inside will be dark so then that gives me more the reason to start screaming to get the eltric done so you can see inside

[@TKCL]

Lol yep, I can see the comments now 😔

[@rongray4847]

Hi Andrew, it’s really starting to take shape. I know you and Tiffany have picked your siding out but please check out Good Simple Living. They have researched and found concrete board in Montana looks exactly like wood. I have never seen or heard of it before but watching their last video was very impressed. What ever you both pick will look great but please check it out. Take care 🇨🇦

[@TKCL]

We are doing fiber cement board, it basically is a concrete.

[@TKCL]

I love it, my last house has Hardi.

[@RebekahTOUCHEDBYYARN]

Are you going to do a vaulted ceiling in the living room?

[@TKCL]

Yes, tounge and groove pine.

[@RebekahTOUCHEDBYYARN]

@@TKCL thank you for answering my question that is going to be absolutely beautiful

[@scottashwv8350]

You just got an F in shop class for a safety violation; compressed air is a no no.

[@patrickdunne1150]

Hello from Chicago! Not sure if I missed it but why aren't you using the jig you made to space out the plywood?

[@TKCL]

Can't on the upper sheets due to not being able to lift the sheets up and over the tabs. Plus just experimenting with other techniques

[@launceherron]

Maybe it was in a different video. But why are you putting smooth side out on the osb? That's why there are lines on the outside (rough side) is that you can follow to nail off

[@TKCL]

Those lines don't match up on a post frame house due to offset spacing. I did cover it in a past video, but the rough side is meant for flooring and roofing only to protect against slip hazards. There is no structural difference one direction or another according to the manufacturer.

[@ralphkanagy4602]

You're doing a good job buddy on your house in pole barn keep it up buddy you be heaven haven't have it I will be watching you on live stream Sunday night text me back buddy God bless

[@TKCL]

Thank you for watching Ralph! God bless

[@tarawood-bradley2119]

Do we have a facebook group associated with this page, as there is a lot of topics that we could discuss except for either we get our post deleted by facebook or we get trolled by the germbags. Like I love the cnc laser video and many of us are probably into CNC however there is only so much I am prepared to post here on the wild west youtube.

[@tarawood-bradley2119]

I have been burnt to many times on this platform so yeah I watch what I post

[@tarawood-bradley2119]

We loved your new router bit, totally awesome. My project this weekend was to reorganize the file systems on my three computers to combine my personal files into one disk and to add more virtual memory to one of my laptops. This will help with my CNC projects next week as my CNC machine is at the other end of the building from my laptop that controls it. I use a program usbip to route usb over tcpip.

[@tarawood-bradley2119]

as for busting bits, I have broke a number of bits on my CNC while learning to use it. Not fun driving the bit into a piece of metal.

[@TKCL]

No facebook group, just a page for our videos. I'm way behind on learning Facebook and to be honest, my time is almost taken up completely with KZbin. I totally understand the censor, it's aggravating.

[@timbrown1240]

Why don’t you purchase or rent a highlift

[@TKCL]

Coming soon!

[@bobgray617]

Woo hoo... one wall sheathed! Looks great.

[@TKCL]

Thanks!
